Italian designer Giorgio Armani staged last night a runway show in Rome at the Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana, an icon of twentieth-century Roman architecture and one of the main landmarks of the EUR district. The venue, which is also currently hosting the exhibition 'Eccentrico', provided the locale for a celebration of Italy and taking pride in being Italian.

Coinciding with the event was the opening of the new Giorgio Armani boutique in Via Condotti.

For 'One Night Only Roma', Armani presented a revised version of the Giorgio Armani and Emporio Armani Fall collections for men and women and of Giorgio Armani Privé for Spring to more than 700 guests, which included Milla Jovovich, Samuel L Jackson and Isabella Ferrari.
